The school year is almost over!
Close your eyes
for a moment and think about the school holidays. Then write the words or draw
the pictures of the things you thought of here:

Your
summer holidays can be a really exciting time, you might have a holiday booked
that you’ve been looking forward to. Or you might be excited about spending
more time with your family and friends.
The summer holidays can be a great chance to spend some enjoyable time
with peers, friends, relatives … But sometimes you may feel lonely a bit. Or
you might miss the routine you have when you’re in school.
It’ll take a while to get used to it. Just be patient,
rest as much as possible with a good companion by your side.
The summer can
be a time when you often start new relationships. Making friends is really
exciting.
Safety first! Do not forget that staying safe and
sound is important! So
wherever you go follow the rules and just be careful!
Hobby or Holiday?
Ever wanted to go gorilla spotting or is exotic food
tasting more right up your street? Find out what is popular in the UK.
Summer holiday trends and suggestions in the United Kingdom:
Experiential holidays
‘Experiential’ holidays are the new vogue. Brits are
no longer content with two weeks spent sunning themselves on a beach, they
require something more to fulfill their holiday needs – whether trying
something new in familiar places or going to somewhere completely different.
Even though Spain is still the UK’s number one holiday destination, it is
themed holidays such as riding, dancing, golfing and trekking that are popular
rather than the beach. France attracts people interested in golf, cultural,
gastronomic and spa holidays. Further afield there is gorilla spotting in
Uganda, whale spotting in Iceland, and white-water rafting in New Zealand.
Walking holiday
Philip, a librarian from Gloucester, enjoys walking
holidays. He goes to a country specifically to go walking in the countryside.
If there are mountains or lakes nearby, this is even better. With a dislike of
beach holidays, national parks are the ideal holiday location. He prefers short
breaks as he dislikes being away from work for too long, but tries to see as
much of the local countryside as possible. Phiilip’s favourite rural
destinations are Germany and Romania as they both offer excellent walking and
lots of different landscapes.
Yoga Holiday
Natalie is a shop assistant. Her priority for a
holiday was to relax and improve her yoga moves. She chose to go to Ibiza as it
is a beautiful place offering fantastic beaches and is a world- renowned yoga
retreat. She says ‘As a single person, I was nervous about going on my own but
found that most other people on the holiday were also single and of a similar
age.’ Not only did she find like-minded people but also improved her mental and
physical well-being. The world is feeling smaller. With cheaper flights and
flexible holidays it is getting easier for us to follow our dreams and attain
the ultimate holiday experience.
If
you could choose an ‘experiential holiday’ and combine a holiday with a hobby,
what would you do? Why?
What
are your personal holiday plans and preferences??? ;)
I wish you the best summer ever!
Have a nice summer vacation!
Go to beautiful places, enjoy the
countryside, go to the beach, go shopping, enjoy! I hope your vacation will give you the pleasure
you need so that you don't have to think of any problems back at home!
